Psalms 47

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. All you peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 For YHWH Most High [is] fearful, A great King over all the earth.

For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

3 He leads peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.

4 He chooses for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 God has gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a horn.

God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Praise God—praise—give praise to our king, praise.

Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7 For God [is] King of all the earth, Give praise, O understanding one.

For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God has reigned over nations, God has sat on His holy throne,

God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of earth [are] to God, Greatly has He been exalted!

The princes of the peoples are gathered together [To be] the people of the God of Abraham; For the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.
